WISDOT outlines remaining work to be completed on US 10 in Waupaca County
Two of the projects will continue in 2027 as crews install temporary pavement for winter
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WISDOT) is continuing construction on three projects on US 10 in Waupaca County. One of those projects will wrap up before the end of the month with the other two continuing into 2027.
US 10 westbound, Appletree Lane to Old WIS 49
Originally scheduled to begin in 2027, the US 10 westbound, Appletree Lane to Old WIS 49 was moved up to get started this year to address pavement conditions and begin crossover construction. Crews anticipate installing temporary pavement and removing traffic control before Nov. 20, 2026.
Crews will return in 2027 to replace concrete in the travel lanes, repave the asphalt shoulders and replace guardrail. Crews will also replace the bridge approaches, guardrail and some of the shared use path on County A / WIS 22; and mill and repave between the ramp terminals of County X.
During construction, US 10 will be open to traffic with lane closures throughout construction. There will be a crossover during a portion of construction with eastbound traffic crossing over and running head-to-head on the westbound lanes. Additionally, there will be intermittent ramp closures with redirection to nearby ramps.
US 10, Anderson Road to Appletree Lane
Crews will focus on diamond grinding concrete pavement repairs, rout and sealing the joint between the concrete pavement and asphalt shoulder, install pavement markings and rumble strips, and other finishing items.
When work is completed in a specific area (US 10 eastbound, WIS 22, WIS 49/54, US 10 westbound), traffic control devices will be removed. Work is anticipated to be complete and traffic control devices removed by Nov. 27.
Crews will return in April 2027 to replace concrete approach slabs at the US 10 westbound bridges over the Crystal River and WIS 49/54, place a polymer overlay on the US 10 westbound bridge over WIS 22 and repair work on the US 10 westbound bridge over WIS 49/54. Crews will also complete additional concrete and asphalt shoulder repairs. Work is anticipated to be completed by April 30, 2027.
US 10 westbound, Old WIS 49 to Winnebago County Line
The US 10 westbound, Old WIS 49 to the Winnebago County line project is set to be complete in 2026. Crews are completing finishing items and are expected to remove traffic control by Nov. 20.
